For this release Manjaro focused on bringing more attention to the common core requirements of Manjaro's broad user-base. Over five weeks have passed since the last update making this is a very large update (300+ Packages).

This update can be run using Octopi only if the bash update was applied prior, otherwise use the the command line will be required:

Sometime when a running kernel gets a version bump, there are a few minor issues like the ones your having, these are normally solved by a reboot.

Which volume icon isn't working, kmix or veromix?

If you mean veromix, I can tell you that kdeplasma-applets-veromix-git Version 23.cac3925-1 from the blueshell repository doesn't work after this update, you'll need to uninstall that version and enable the kmix volume control icon in the system tray properties.

However if you really like veromix better, than you have a few optional versions you can install:

1) kdeplasma-applets-veromix-git-blueshell
Version 4.53c5233-1 from the Blueshell repository.

to shutdown in the terminal. For the preload script inautostart see the firefox-kde thread. In short the new update breaks it. So I recommend disabling this script in systemsettings -> startup and shutdown

I appreciate the time you give to help at what must be a busy post upgrade period.

I installed a sound icon from categories in add widget from panel options. It works.

I disabled both KLauncher and Preloader in system settings, rebooted from terminal and still the restart and shutdown options in the application launcher or menu do not work. However, suspend in the launcher does work.

So, I can control my os from the terminal but still not from the application launcher.

Yes, it works with all the stuff enabled at start up and sound and octopi icons in the panel. I used the terminal to update and despite reporting nothing to do after the last command AJ said we should use, my system works except for Firefox. Will wait for the foxy update.

It is a "bug" that affects many, just google kde shutdown/logoff doesn't work. From what i had searched at that time kde fails to fully load. For other was changing backend to phonon-vlc, for others systemd permissions.
In my case since sddm was upgraded ( after this upgrade plymouth for me also works ,it was enabled but didn't work before) and moved on to 3.17 kernel it hasn't happened again.

Netrunner by default ships with the veromix volume control widget enabled by default, this is NOT a standard Plasma widget. The problem is that with a rolling system like this one the applications need to be upgraded at the same time as their dependencies, this is what happened in the case of the missing icon, which I explained in my previous post.

This latest update-pack was huge because it was 5 weeks worth of updates, as I said before this is not the norm, the update-packs are usually released between 2-3 weeks apart, unless there are major bugs, breakages and/or compatibility issues that need more attention. However, this does not mean that if a critical security issue is discovered that it won't be patched and pushed out sooner, for example we had two bash updates during this time.
